Yes, republicans will likey take the senate but...

[Howey]

...The country is fucked if they do. Congressional democrats may be mostly useless, but they at least push legislation that popular opinion supports:

1) Raising the minimum wage
2) Background checks for gun ownership
3) Extending unemployment insurance
4) Path to citizenship for illegal immigrants

perhaps you should wake up to the fact that legislation like this is exactly why the republicans will take over the senate

Why? I thought the greater majority of Americans favor each of those platforms.

Isn't Congress supposed to represent the people?

 

[Billy000]

Can an rw here tell me how exactly republicans would fix thińgs? Tell me specifically what will republicans do fix our economy with the issues I have brought up?

Let me guess: tax cuts and deregulation? Guess what. Neither one of those policies would fix shit.

can anyone explain to me how the democrats have ever stopped deregulation that they claim republicans started?

can anyone tell me the legislation that allowed deregulation?

In reality it is a non issue. Regulations actually have a very small effect on economic growth.

I wouldn't count on Republicans taking the Senate

They have a tendency of forming circular firing squads

Given that the current poll averages state by state show the Democrats holding the Senate 51 - 49, predictions about the GOP being likely to win Senate don't have much basis in fact.

You are probably right. November is a long time off and Republicans have an unsurpassed talent to mess up their own chances.

I disagree with the notion that Republicans mess up their own chances.

We have to be perfect. We can't have one person say one thing that's out of line.

We can't have people make simple mistakes or mistatements. We have to bat a thousand every game or guess what....?

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM is all over us.

Did Romney make mistakes? Sure he did. But the lying ********** in chief made FAR more. Including telling bald-faced lies to the American People.

Things like Benghazi, Fast and Furious, "If you like your Health Insurance....."

And where was the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM? Hiding. Not even hiding.... They picked up the ball and LIED for the lying ********** in chief. Just like Candy Fatass Crowley did in the 2nd debate.

Saying that republicans **** their own chances up shows a lack of understanding of the current DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM and the Peoples' penchant for self-flagellation.

dimocraps are scum We aren't perfect but we're not dimocraps.

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM are worse than dimocrap scum. They're not elected, they have no governing body, they require no license, they have no standards of practice, they routinely break the law with no consequences and the DISGUSTING FILTH of the LSM is a safe harbor for all things Anti-American since the middle of the 20th Century.

Republicans have enough problems without our own people accusing us of incompetence. We're on our own. We're on an Island trying to save the greatest experiment in the History of Man...... America.

dimocrap scum want to destroy it because they have a slave mentality. Most of whom are even descended from slaves, serfs and the indentured class. The others, the Hive Minds that run them, are descended from their Masters.

Both wish to return to that setup where they were comfortable. They don't like that individual Americans can currently choose their own paths.

Blunt, uncool, non-PC, but very accurate. VERY accurate.

This is what I'm talking about when I tell you that ALL dimocraps lie.

They have to. In order to defend their lying ********** masters, they have to lie themselves.

And it's not like they're embarrassed or reluctant to do it..... They RELISH it. They LOVE it.

so for one, you can't show me.

and secondly, since it is a non issue your claim that republicans would deregulate is just more liberal spin and grandstanding

 

[Duped]

If only Democrats didn't squander the opportunity they were handed in 2008.

Looking at the consistent back-and-forth of power in DC, it seems to me that both parties are expert at squandering opportunity.

Isn't the electorate trying to tell us something?

.

Your exactly right! As soon as a party takes control they serve themselves, and forget all the bullshit they said to get elected from " read my lips " to " you can keep your plan, and doctor "

Bush fucked up so bad that the people gave the liberals a monopoly - voting in a ******* community organizer for POTUS. As soon as he realized power, he rammed nightmarecare down our throats. The people immediately took congress back, and I doubt they will give back a monopoly to either party which promotes further gridlock; the tiresome blame game.

Now that the debt is unmanageable, both parties will ignore it - any attempt to diminish it will result in immediate pain; a platform for defeat!

Both parties suck, and have fucked over the people enormously The republicans as dubious as they are the best of two evils as the liberals are anti American - they have no honor. This administration is totally corrupt, and incompetent. In times past they would all be hung by their necks!

 

[Billy000]

Is anyone going to answer my hypothetical? If republicans had full control of the government, how would they solve our nation's issues?

You better have a better example than tax cutting. That would, after all, only further drive our national debt. Corporate profits are at an all time high. Where are the jobs? What is the republican solution?

May I remind you about the Republican Senate contenders in Nevada, Indiana, Missouri and the state where the Republican candidate declared that she was not a witch?

[thereisnospoon]

...The country is fucked if they do. Congressional democrats may be mostly useless, but they at least push legislation that popular opinion supports:

1) Raising the minimum wage
2) Background checks for gun ownership
3) Extending unemployment insurance
4) Path to citizenship for illegal immigrants

Yes Obama's approval ratings are at an all time low, but guess what? He still has twice the approval ratings republicans do. Even democrats have higher approval ratings. So why will republicans likely take the senate? I have no idea. They are corrupt, self interested, scumbags. Americans need to wake up. I dream of a world without republicans and their propaganda machine Fox News.

Our biggest economic problem is the enormous wealth inequality in this country. 1% of the top earners own 40% of the nation's wealth. Meanwhile the federal minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. Since the recession there has been a significant decrease of high wage jobs and a significant increase in low wage jobs all while corporate profits are at an all time high. Productivity has increased 100% since the 30s for the Lower classes yet wages have only increased 8%. 95% of the income gains have gone to the top 5% of earners. Expert economists say this massive wealthy disparity will only lead to more economic crises. Do you really think republicans are going to do ANYTHING about this problem? No. They won't touch it. They will let it continue. We don't even need to come close to socialism to fix this problem. The wealthy class can still thrive with higher wages for the lower classes.

According to the CBO, raising the min wage to 10.10 will cost 500,000 jobs (big maybe on that). However it will lift 16 million people out of poverty. Not only that, but the higher wages means more consumer spending which means JOB CREATION.

Say what you want about Obama, but we have had consistent job growth since his first year in office. A slow recovery no doubt, but we should all be grateful the economy isn't collapsing.

Why should you vote democrat? Is it because they will fix everything? No. Of course not. The reason you should vote democrat is to keep republicans out of office. Democrats are simply the lesser of two evils.

"but they at least push legislation that popular opinion supports:"
-And there's the problem democrats have right there. Instead of proposing legislation that is good for the nation as a whole, they politicize and craft their proposals to please their voting base.
Now let's look at your stuff.
-Raising the min wage does nothing. Well, check that. It actually reduces the number of available entry level jobs. It also adversely affects the youngest and least skilled of workers.
-Most states already have background checks for prospective gun purchasers. Even with that, this will not stop ILLEGAL gun ownership. You people always ignore the fact that criminals will refuse to obey that law anyway. So the idea put on paper is useless.
99 weeks of unemployment insurance is ENOUGH...besides, it has been stated by the White House that Obama has created over 8 million new jobs. Based on that claim, there is no need to further extend taxpayer subsidized vacations.
-Why should those who've violated our borders be rewarded with status that it takes YEARS for LEGAL immigrants to achieve? Answer, democrats need the illegals to become legal to build their voting base.
I support offering illegals status so that they can work and pay ALL of their taxes. And so the government can keep track of them.
-Obama has twice the approval ratings of which republicans?
"Our biggest economic problem is the enormous wealth inequality in this country."
No it isn't....The most pressing economic problem is overbearing federal regulations and unjust taxation of business. US based business cannot compete with foreign based business when the tax rates on corporate taxation are much lower than US rates.
"According to the CBO, raising the min wage to 10.10 will cost 500,000 jobs (big maybe on that). However it will lift 16 million people out of poverty. "
Oh? it will? How so....The current federal poverty line is $26k for a family of 4. so if the rate goes to 10.10 per hour, that's a little over $20k per year. Still under the poverty line.
Next, min wage jobs are not designed for people on which to support a family. These are low skill, entry level jobs held mostly by minor dependent children and elderly people just looking for walking around money. These are jobs from which one is promoted.
BTW, the rate of inflation for the last of 10 years has been next to nil. Perhaps on the order of 1 to 2% annually.
All of the things you mention here are politically based. They are a call to the democrat base to get out the democrat vote. Nothing more.
The reason why there is a likelihood of a turnover in the US Senate this fall is that the democrat majority has failed to fulfill promises made to their voting base and have awoken the people. They realize its been all rhetoric and little substance.
Lastly. You people FEAR non liberal biased news reporting and commentary because it upsets your little apple cart. You cannot stand it when Fox or any other news outlet or commentary source exposes the facts as to the actions of this government and the Obama admin.

The republicans cannot solve our nations issues Billy. The debt is an insurmountable obstacle. The liberal solution is to crash us into socialism.

We the people need to hold our representatives responsible for failing to do what they say. Obama said that the increase in debt under Bush was unpatriotic. Then he proceeded to pile it sky high.

No they dont.
If they did we would have them. Of course once people understand that background checks at gun shows will not prevent criminals from getting guns then they tend to favor it less. You do understand that, right?
